It was about 53 minutes into a sausage and eggs media breakfast with AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka when I decided to ask about his 2020 plans to help Democrats.
Over those minutes, he hadn’t harshly attacked President Trump and even sounded hopeful on a deal to replace the Clinton-era NAFTA trade agreement with one better for organized labor.
My question was obvious: Trump’s bragging on a good economy and ultra-low unemployment rates would seem to have some resonance with blue-collar workers.
Initially, Trumka was mildly dismissive of Trump’s strategy. “That’s what he’s doing, and I think it’s not going to have the effect†on workers, he said.
Then, he reached for a small stack of papers and told me, “I sort of anticipated that you might ask me about that, particularly you. See this right here?â€
It was six pages of reasons — 37 of them — for why the AFL-CIO believes workers shouldn’t vote for Trump.
